Aren’t these supposed to be?

Pity it has nothing to do with the clue, but “heading off” a true course is what snooker (etc) balls do when struck with “English”, the American term for side.

My only niggle was 9, where I entered WIN THE JACKPOT. The I in WIN matches the crosser, and it seems to me this meets both definition and wordplay if you read win as a noun. (‘My team had a big win at the weekend.’)
